Ingredients
½ cup shortening
1½ cups of white sugar (½ for topping)
½ cup brown sugar
2 eggs (beaten)
2½ cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup of milk
2 cups of chopped apples (I leave the skin on but that’s up
to you)
½ cup of chopped nuts I use either walnuts or pecans
(topping)
1 teaspoon cinnamon (topping)
Method
Cream shortening, 1 cup of sugar, ½ cup of brown sugar together
and add the beaten eggs gradually. Sift the flour, soda, baking powder together
and add alternately with the milk. Stir in the apples and pour into a greased
and floured 13x9 pan.
Topping
Mix ½ cup of white sugar with 1 teaspoon of cinnamon and ½
cup nuts. (I've used crunchy cereal on the above cake.) Sprinkle on top of batter in pan and bake for about 45 minutes at 350°.
